Lots of people with Social Anxiety or Social Phobia decide to stay in most the time and skip out on important things. I had my fair share of hiding from reality and still do to this day. But I had to start getting out there not because of choice but because of obligation. I had to go to school and get a job. These things are probably the most scariest things for people with SAD because you have to be around lots of people. I was so afraid to go to school I just wanted to skip it but if I did I would fail so I had to push myself to go which was very difficult. But the worst one was getting a job and having to be interviewed. Trying to act completely normal and calm seemed impossible but I did it and let me tell you the interviewer didn't think I was shy I should of won an Emmy. But just because I was able to get over my fear at the moment doesn't mean it completely went away I was still scared. The real reason why I was able to do it was because my pride my mom always told me " If they can do it, why can't you ". She was absolutely right I just couldn't watch other people that are human just like me do what I wanted to do, so as scared as I was, shaking and everything I pushed myself to go outside. Even if I looked nervous and anxious I can say that I did it. But now I'm waiting to start college in January and I'm unemployed. Let me tell I'm very scared to start college but I can't say how its going just yet because I haven't started but Decembers coming and soon January and I'm freaking out. But all I'm thinking is what will my brain come up with next to get me out of the house and into college. So this is another SAD post, now its your turn to share. Feel free to express how you guys live on a day to day basis. Do you go out? Do you have friends? Do you have a job? Do you go to school? etc.
Sincerely,
Daff S.
